BALLIA (UP): Uttar Pradesh Minister Ramgovind Chaudhary today alleged Prime Minister Narendra Modi's statement that Indian Muslims will live and die for India, was made "to please" United States and shed his "communal image".

The state minister for primary education urged the Prime Minister to ask Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), VHP, Hindu Jagran Manch and other Hindutva organisations to adopt his views.
